United Daughters of the Confederacy, and Upholding White Supremacy

Olivia and Raven dive into the white supremacist roots of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, and they discuss the organization’s role in perpetuating the lost cause narrative in history textbooks and Civil War discourse. They cover the UDC’s founding, goals, and efforts in education and Confederate veneration, and the negative impact on history education and Black people today. - Episodes Referenced: Was Abraham Lincoln the Savior of Black-Americans? https://isquared.podbean.com/e/was-abraham-lincoln-the-savior-of-black-americans/ | Symbolism and Criticism of the Confederate Flag https://isquared.podbean.com/e/symbolism-and-criticism-of-the-confederate-flag/ - Email us!
